When I first gained access to the active collimator, I took it apart in order to understand its structure. Below are pictures that I took upon its disassembly.

I read [[Media:senderovichthesis.pdf|Igor Senderovich's PhD thesis]] very carefully in order to understand the active collimator's purpose and how it works. This project is largely based on Senderovich's work from his time under Dr. Jones's supervision. The active collimator has been [[Media:jbqualityassurance.pdf|quality assured]] by Alex Barnes, James McIntyre, and Dr. Jones. A [[Media:jbapsdnp.ppt|detailed PowerPoint]] regarding the use of the active collimator in the GlueX experiment was written by Dr. Jones, Igor Senderovich, and Ann Marie Carroll for an APS/DNP meeting in October of 2012.
